To dream about plants suggests that you are progressing slowly in something in your waking life.

You will get there eventually, but good things come to those who wait so you may need to be patient here.
Ideas, plans and your hard work all take time to come to fruition so continue as you are and you will reach the finish line.
Perhaps you are healing after an illness and it’s taking longer than you anticipated- this is a common dream for people who are in a period of recovery.
If you have children, watering a plant may represent the time and effort you are putting into raising them to help them to grow into healthy and happy human beings.
Perhaps you are pregnant and you have dreamed about a plant because it symbolises the life that is growing inside you.
If you let a plant die in your dream or you saw a plant that was dead, perhaps you have neglected some part of your life lately.
More specifically, one that has taken a while to grow and mature. It can also represent a lack of parenting- perhaps your child or children are suffering from your absence. It might be wise to spend more time with them if you are able.

If you were watering a plant, there may be someone in your life you are encouraging or nurturing to reach their goals.
Similarly, you could be tending to an area of your life with great focus and enthusiasm at present.
To dream of a plant in a pot indicates feelings of being trapped. Someone or something is preventing you being the biggest, brightest and best that you can be. Consider what or who this might be and think of ways to release the hold they have over you.
More positively, a plant in a pot might simply mean that you have something in your life that brings you joy- however it doesn’t require much attention to do so. Perhaps you take pleasure in the simple things.

Flowers are generally given as gifts for celebration, during illness and in sympathy. The dream could be a sign that you need to show someone in your waking hours some generosity or gentleness. Flowers that are not yet at full bloom might represent your potential and hidden talents. Perhaps you need to explore these more if you are not reaching your goals or if you don’t feel satisfied with your achievements right now. If the flowers were white, you may be feeling sad at present. Why is this? Can you call upon someone to help you through this difficult time?
